Is that a British vs. American thing? My spellchecker and my online
dictionary both insist on the "z". Google for "define: publicise" gives a
definition and says "Did you mean: define: publicize?". When you say
"define: publicize" it does not offer the "s" alternative, suggesting that
it too considers the "z" form to be preferred. Anyway, further discussion
of this important point is probably a bad use of bandwidth on www-tag.
Respond privately as desired. Unless anyone strongly objects, it's going
to be "publicize" :-).

There's nothing wrong or embarrassing with the spelling: "publicise" :-)
